Nice trails for hiking or biking. I parked at the elementary school and did about 6 miles of trekking. Not very well-marked at the beginning, but enjoyed it nonetheless

The most gorgeous trails I have ever run on. They’re incredibly well maintained and marked clearly. So happy I found this hidden gem in the middle of my town!

It was simply splendid.

It would have been better for me with a mountain bike.

Now my top favorite place to go for a nature walk in the triangle. It is secluded and just beautiful.

There are 3 entrances off Seawell School Rd. Park on the shoulder of the road. We took Entrance 3 near the school. Easy hike, main trails are gravel many loop trails not graveled. Good hike for dogs. The trails are not well marked and the map is not easy to follow. There is a stream and some bridges but mostly pine forest. There is also a foundation from an old mill.

Carolina north forest is so pretty!! I just wish the university would stop clear cutting sections of it :( :(

Great mountain bike trail system!

Gorgeous hiking spot, definitely would recommend.

Great for trail running. Lots of trails and well maintained. A good place to access Wormhole trail is across the street from Seawell school. There is a, not so obvious, opening in the trees on the railroad track side. Look at some of the running apps for circuits and distance. A good 4.5 miles under canopy without overlapping.

Wonderful and serene. Crow brand outlook was an Easy hike for myself and 2 children. Aged 7 years and 1 year.

Great place for walks and had plenty of trees to climb!

I run the pumpkin trail with my dog several days a week

Wonderful park with lots of trails (both gravel/paved Greenway, and trails in the woods). We even saw a fox yesterday! It is so quiet in the woods too. Its like a fairytale

An awesome natural place to visit. Not many amenities but perfect for experienced runners or cyclists or hikers. Careful not to get lost!

Amazing views. Nice trails

Great place for a walk, conveniently located in Chapel Hill. Great place to bring pets on short excursions. Difficulty: easy. Scenery: average (basically just a forest, so dont expect anything too awe-inspiring)

This little slice of perfection is a great place to run, bike, hike or just enjoy the outdoors. Some of the trails are challenging, but very runnable and bikeable. If youre training for a trail race, this is a decent place to get some rocks, roots, and hills without it being overly technical. No stream crossings, but you might see a flutist or other musician on the weekends, or possibly even spot a unicorn!

Great place for hiking and biking

Great trails for walking, running or mountain biking. Single track trails can be technical with roots, rocks and very narrow trails between trees that can knock you off your bike if you arent careful. Some steep uphill sections may require Hike-a-Bike. Traffic on the trails goes both clockwise and counter clockwise so you must be alert at all times.The Pumpkin Loop is gravel and intersects with a paved section of Greenway. Pumpkin Vine connects the Loop to Sewell School Road.

Good just fine

Well maintained trails with enough looping routed to easily accommodate distances from 2-15 miles.

Lovely area especially in spri g

It has nice trails for bike and walk. Parking and sitting place seems not enough though.

One of my very favorite local trails. 4K distance around the Pumpkin Loop.

My favorite running spot in the Chapel Hill area! Great trails and beautiful nature

So peaceful!

A good place to go for a quick walk or run outside. Ive run here more than 10 times and still have fun going around pumpkin loop. Its about a 2.5 mile loop.

This is a fun place to run, walk a dog, single tracks or just enjoy the stream. I recommend the pumpkin loop/vine for running.

Beautiful and quiet place.

This is a very nice place to talk a walk in the trees. The trails are well marked, even the single tracks. There is large enough to appear like you are alone even when many people are around. Dogs are ok, leashed. The area is clean and well maintained. Trail maps are available on all trails. There are several posted at the corners of the area. The trails continue across the road, and the railroad tracks. That area seems to be less used.My only issue is the use of the word forest. It is not that, at all. It is a shadow of that and I feel that that should be said.I enjoyed the time there, as did my doggos. We have made several trips there now and each was unique and relaxing.

Today was a beautiful day for a walk in the woods. Carolina North Forest is full of beautiful old trees and is crisscrossed with paths and trails for walking. running and bicycling. It is one of my favorite places for mushroom hunting.

A normal trail walk, it was fun, but there is really nothing too much to expect

Big wide trail that gives you a break from being around roads and cars.

Hiking, Biking, ARDF, geocache birdwatchin and more. Protect the forest!

Trails were great, some slippy roots.

The trails out here were really fun! There was a nice mixture of riding styles, scenery and plenty of miles that you can link together. Be very mindful of the neighborhood and fellow hikers and trail runners.

Super fun place to ride mountain bikes!

Love love love this place i visited my daughter for 3 weeks and every morning id go for my walk and everyday i stayed lil longer each time. They have so many trails in the woods Really if u like outdoirs and exercise awesome place you always in shade so stays pretty cool. I would stay 2 hours everyday im 56 year old female

Bike trails awesome!

Walking and hiking... Numerous trials. Safe

This is an amazing place to trail run. The trails are really well maintained and there is plenty of variety. Be aware of mountain bikers.

Miles of single-track trails open for runners and cyclists. Some parts are OK even for novices (mostly in the north part), but in some places even strong athletes can feel the challenge.

Do a lot of trail running with the dog. Very well maintained trails and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great walking, hiking, and biking trails

Great trails for playing ukulele, hiking, walking, running, mountain biking, and mountain unicycling. Watch for wild unicorn.

Great trails but the trail heads are a bit unclear.

Awesome trails. Lot of single track. Nice mix of flow, rocks, and roots

Beautiful pine Forest, great mountain biking at beginner and some intermediate level

Easy to get lost when off the main trail. But fun hike anyways.

Great place to hike.

Beautiful trails in the heart of Chapel Hill

Beautiful trails, little to no parking though.

Its a nice walk

A nice forest with lots of trails could mostly relatively flat. Bikes can make the trails muddy and wet weather.

Beautiful trails in the woods that go on for miles, highly recommend for any distance runners

Nice shadey place to jog. Have to watch out for copperheads, however. I almost stepped on one yesterday.

Very serene.

This is truly a hidden gem of Chapel Hill/Carrboro, with over 20 miles of single track, its one of the best places to run/walk/mountain bike in town!

Great walking and biking trails. Only dowside are dog owners who dont leash their dogs. Secluded but in town, can get around well here for hours

Deer, birds, bugs, and lush plant life—an accessible place for a hike or a run.

Love CNF trails!

Please dont ever develope this area!!

Good for a medium length run

Well maintained

Great trail, I love nature.

Nice trails

Great forest park with great trails for walking or running.

Great Intermediate mountain biking trails!

From paved green ways to technical single track, you will find something wonderful in this trail system. Limited facilities.

Extensive trail system, with plenty of variety and places to explore. Trail maintenance can be poor, and some trails are worn very much, to a point where they become exceptionally rooty and not especially fun.

Good place to be in nature. Not too crowded except on weekend days.

This is the only place left in Carrboro where you can really enjoy being in the woods. DONT LET THEM PAVE IT!!

Love this set of woods nestledaway in Carrboro. Great trails for walking and biking.

Surprisingly large and secluded set of trails convenient to all of Chapel Hill/Carrboro.

Peaceful.

Single track or gravel road mountain biking, trail running, walk your dog. Single track can get very muddy. A very nice retreat from the surrounding population density, and in town, at that!

Great trails for the locals. No map though, easy to get lost.

Been walking here almost daily recently. Stay away really lol

A great location to quietly commune with nature.

Great mountain biking trails, also excellent for walking. Small river and beaver dams.

Excellent singletrack.

I like the carolina north forest durham cause my special someone is living there .I dont know where is he now after ten yrs from now i dont heared from him mr.Alton Randy Barbour im missing you dearly.Hope to heared from you soon.God Bless all!!!

What a public asset! Miles and miles of single track trails right in Chapel Hill / Carrboro!

A (somewhat) hidden emerald gem.
